Who's the best player in the State of Iowa...

[UraMallas]

Niang has nicer boobs.

If you're in to 10-year-old girl bodies. I'm not one to judge, though.

Uthoff is the best scorer in the state, because he has to be. Georges is the best player, because of everything he does for this team.

 

[cmjh10]

83-82

Niang is the better player, but I would still take Uthoff in a heartbeat.

 

[AltHawk]

But he's not. See above.

Advanced stats seem to tell a slightly different story. While Niang is a slightly more efficient shooter than Uthoff, Uthoff is a better rebounder (higher rebound %), turns it over less (much lower TO%), and obviously wins the defensive categories.

Uthoff also leads Niang in PER and Win Shares per 40 minutes.

Niang is marginally better than Uthoff offensively, but Uthoff is substantially better than Niang defensively. Uthoff is statistically having a better season, and the advanced stats show that he is a slightly better player. Anyone that thinks this debate is one-sided in favor of a particular player is a moron and a huge homer.

The sad thing is that Woodbury will probably be drafted before either Georges or Uthoff...size matters.

Woody ain't getting drafted.

who transferred because he was riding the pine.

He transferred after redshirt in to go from 155 up to 160 pounds. He was riding the pine voluntarily and would have seen a ton of minutes had he stayed and by leaving cost himself a chance at the title last year. He is trying to carry his team to one this year...

I didn't say Woody is good. Woody is big. If talent is considered, he is out.

In a 2011 Sports Illustrated article, author Pablo S. Torre, drawing from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, surmised that “no more than 70 American men are between the ages of 20 and 40 and at least 7 feet tall.”
From this, he further deduced that “while the probability of, say, an American between 6-6 and 6-8 being an NBA player today stands at a mere .07 percent, it is a staggering 17 percent for someone 7 feet or taller.”

Georges is the better scorer

In a pick up game between the best players in the state of Iowa, Utohff would be picked fourth.

Congratulations you can score 18 points a game when no one else on your team has an offensive pulse. The two memories I have of Utohff are bricking two wide open threes to win two games in Hilton.

3-0

When it's winning time some players shrink from the moment, while others embrace it. No one embraces the moment like Georges. Every time he makes a play that only he can make, I feel sad knowing it's coming to an end. Love the kid.

Slightly more efficient shooter? His eFG is 5% higher. That's a pretty big margin

The advanced stats give Niang a much better offensive AND defensive rating than Uthoff actually.

Woody's problem is that he's not in the Top 17% of 7-footers.

Plus going off PER Niang is better than Uthoff. Lol on the 40 minute thing though

 

[ISUcyclones11]

Seems like non-biased people outside of ISU mostly going towards Uthoff.

Which is a good thing, because Niang will find out about this

Who is going Uthoff?

 

[acgclone]

Both are very nice players but I'd give the edge to Niang.

Georges is 3-1 vs the Hawks

JU is 0-3 vs ISU while he's been at Iowa.
